Question

or
Which sign makes the statement true?

31%
17
100

Answer 1

To determine which sign makes the statement true, we need to compare 31% of 100 with 17.

First, let's calculate 31% of 100:

\[
31\% \text{ of } 100 = \frac{31}{100} \times 100 = 31
\]

Now we can compare:

- 31
- 17

Since 31 is greater than 17, we can say:

\[
31 > 17
\]

So the correct sign to make the statement true is ">":

\[
31\% \text{ of } 100 > 17
\]
